10/31/16—Enjoying the View

I
was giving a reading the other day and said something so wise I
surprised even myself! :D I may not be the first to say it, but its
worthy of repeating and reconsidering even if you've heard it before.
Plus, I've been living it and considering it for a few days and it's a
great thought to carry around...At this very moment, your dream has come true and your future dreams are coming true. Today was a day you dreamed of. Think
about it. THIS was a moment you dreamed into fruition. And even though
it may feel like a "flawed moment"...or not as perfect as the dream
you envisioned...it is nonetheless a moment of manifestation for you.
A moment to cherish and celebrate. Consider
that everything that happened today and will happen tomorrow is in
response to a prayer you put out. Maybe it's not the end result of a prayer, but it's at least a prayer in progress. We're always making dreams of the
future...always working toward a future dream that continually pushes
ever further into the future as we meet goals, take unexpected turns and
live our daily lives. And because of this, today just never seems like it's good enough. But today is the answer to a dream you had not that
long ago. Rejoice in the answer to a dream rather than poo poo it as not
as good as the revised vision you have now. You couldn't even have that
vision if you didn't once dream the dream you're living today.

A
year ago I dreamed I'd be more mentally clear and more physically
capable. And I am. And yet it's not good enough. I want even more now.
And a curse of being human is that we don't know how to exist without a
dream of something more. So we're never satisfied with what we have. The
thirst for more serves a purpose in moving us forward. But with all
these mountains we climb, we really should take the time to enjoy the
view. Living a life of purpose that doesn't account for appreciating the
beauty of the process is missing the point, imo.

Part
of the challenge of taking personal responsibility for having dreamed
this and every day of our lives—whether consciously or unconsciously—is
realizing that the things we dreamed of, in the reality we actually live
in, have upsides and downsides. For example, I dreamed of having dogs.
So when I carry three sacks of poo with me for a mile on a walk, that's a
day I dreamed of. Because that's part of the reality of dogs. Say
that, years back, you dreamed of the day you'd be married to the spouse
you have now. Or say you dreamed of getting the job you have now. And
now you're unhappy with that situation, whatever it is. Dreams, when
translated into reality, have upsides and downsides. So this is a day
you dreamed of. And
so imagine that today you're dreaming of being free of that job or
marriage. Then, in reality, things are probably going to get worse
before they get better, because most of us need to be pretty miserable
to take on changes like that. Therefore, the miserable times are all
days you dreamed would happen. And now imagine that you're free of that
situation, at last. But you're feeling lonely on Friday night or are
unemployed or maybe having trouble settling in to your new job. Those
are all days you dreamed of, too. And if you want to change that, it's
likely it will all get worse before it gets better, so those are the
days you're dreaming of now when you dream of changing the situation. And
the same goes for all the happy and neutral days we all have, too. I
just didn't mention them, because it's easier to imagine the good days
being days you dreamed of. We'll readily take credit for having brought
those into fruition using our powerful dreaming abilities...haha.So
consider taking your head out of all that you want to accomplish before
next month, next year or the end of your life and spend some time
appreciating the powerful fact that you created today. It is an answer
to a prayer. You are that good. So good, in fact, that all the dreams
you have for tomorrow are unfolding effortlessly as we speak, just as
today unfolded from yesterday's dreams. By
the time we fulfill our intentions and reach the places we dreamed of
yesterday, it's too late to enjoy the process. And, besides, we already
have a new dream in mind that we're focused on instead. The only time to
really appreciate and enjoy the striving is not when we've reached our
destination, because we never really do. It's day by day as we're
experiencing it. Today is the day you once dreamed of. You are magic. You are literally living the dream. Celebrate the beauty of this moment.
